Building an Elixir Orchestrator for Agent Task Distribution

27Sheol, a newcomer to the Elixir programming language, is working on creating an orchestrator server. The goal is to have the server manage a network of agents by listening for connections, then assigning roles and tasks to the connected agents. While 27Sheol has achieved a form of this functionality using OTP (Open Telecom Platform) without the use of external libraries, they are facing challenges. A key issue arises when a significant number of agents frequently connect and disconnect, leading to network partition errors. This experience led 27Sheol to wonder if their current strategy might not be the most efficient or correct approach to achieve the desired system behavior.
